Vermont Women in Higher Education Award goes to CCV's Pam Chisholm!

From the Vermont Digger web site:

"The Jackie M. Gribbons Leadership Award: Pamela Chisholm

The Jackie M. Gribbons Leadership Award is presented to a woman who
has demonstrated leadership ability, served as a model and mentor,
developed innovative programs, and contributed significantly to the
institution and profession. Pamela Chisholm’s career in Vermont higher
education spans 30 years, and during that time she has become a
well-respected expert on financial aid systems and programs. In her
current position as associate dean of enrollment services at Community
College of Vermont, she has “improved the student-friendliness of
systems and enhanced college access and success for literally thousands
of students,” her nomination states. An initiative she led at CCV to
allow financial aid for textbook purchases has helped many low-income
Vermonters attend college. Her leadership extends to professional
organizations including the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, and
VASFAA."
